Answer:

The elements are Anagnorisis, Catharsis and Peripeteia

Explanation:

This piece of theater written by Sophocles presents several elements of the Greek tragedy, which are: anagnorisis which is the recognition of who is, in the case of Oedipus the murderer of his father, and husband of his mother; the peripeteia that is the passage to fortune for the misfortune of the hero; the catharsis that is the moment of commotion in the audience, when the hero, who was made for the audience to identify with him, suffers the consequences of his tragic failure with the peripécia. Thus, we have in Oedipus King many elements for the constitution of a work of complete Greek tragedy

xenn [34]

One way that the novel differs from earlier literary works is that readers are often able to relate better to the characters in novels.

A novel is a long work of narrative fiction, usually written in prose form. It is considered that all of the genre has " a continuous and comprehensive history of about two thousand years"  origined in classical Greece and Rome, in medieval and early modern romance, and in the tradition of the Italian renaissance novella. Novel readers  are more susceptible, to get along with the characters, relating their personal experiences with the characters in question, something that in ancient literature was not very common.

At which body of water does the Nile river end
Scrat [10]
If you look at a map of the Nile, you'll see it has a bunch of tributaries (Lake Victoria, Lake Kyoga, Lake Albert and Lake Tana) but those aren't where it ends, that's where it begins. The Nile River flows north because of the elevation, and it ends up in the Mediterranean Sea.<span />
